Douban 8.9 points, the "Squid Game" version of the physical battle reality show

In the past two years, the "game theme" series and movies have been quite outstanding, such as "Fraud Game", "Squid Game" and "Alice on the Dying Occasion", which is really an interesting phenomenon. Probably because the class differentiation and social competition in modern society are becoming more and more intense, the rising channel at the bottom is becoming more and more tense, everyone wants to be more successful, but the rising channel is becoming more and more intense, on the one hand, through the Internet, we can more and more intuitively feel the life of those who are younger than you, more beautiful than you, richer than you and harder than you, envy and powerlessness are born.

On the other hand, because of helplessness, we can only pin our spirit on the so-called "electronic squeeze", so game and revenge dramas came into being. To put it bluntly, everyone has had a hard time this year. Watch a cool drama to bring yourself into the game scene to change your life against the sky; and the big heroine who took the revenge script. It is as if we can resist the exhaustion, helplessness, nothingness, emptiness and confusion of real life.

But a series is a series after all, what effect will it have if "Squid Game" is adapted into a reality show? That must be an explosion, how can unscripted amateurs, for the ultimate monetary reward, abandon the disguise and show the real and dark side of human nature?

That must be the scene that all the audiences want to see.

But the intensity of "Squid Game" is obviously impossible to replicate on reality TV.

But it's a pity that such a good theme is not used to make reality shows, but after Korean dramas catch the express train of Netflix, inspiration and scale are also flowing. No, this year's "Squid Game" with a physical theme had a high score of 8.9 as soon as it was broadcast.

——"The Peak of Fitness: The Challenge of 100 People"

Let the horses go, and the battle for survival of the fittest begins. Of the 100 contestants from all walks of life, who has the "perfect" physique?

It is said that South Korea is the country with the most curly appearance in the world, they do not sleep and wear makeup, the ice American style that refreshes the mind every morning and the gym full of micro-curls after work every day are their obsession with beauty and toned body.

"Top of Fitness: The Challenge of 100 People" integrates the involution of appearance, the diversity of crowds and audiences, competition, cooperation, and upward spirit in sports; The beautiful and toned flesh, as well as the most realistic spirit of working hard to win the prize, coupled with the special effects experience produced by Netflix, a set of adrenaline is really adrenaline.

300 million bonuses, 100 fitness men and women in different industries, both professional and amateur, through the extreme physical competition, only one champion won the 300 million prize.

There are professional athletes, gold medal gymnastics champions who have won the Asian Championships and the London Olympics;

Champion of the Fire Games;

Love fitness, handsome and tall farmer,

Professional members of the female special forces for 11 years;

the winner of the "Hercules" competition - height 185, weight 127 kg;

ice climbers;

sniper of the water demolition squad;

Taekwondo Champion;

dancers who designed zombie movements in various zombie films "Lee's Joseon" and "Trip to Busan";

There are also players from other countries - the black guy is a crossfit athlete, so to speak, a hexagonal warrior, and the white guy is a tall baseball player, which is very advantageous in obstacle course.

It's not just a physical superman like "double door" + eight-pack abs + muscles; Love variety show players, fitness Internet celebrities with millions of fans, beautiful and cute cheerleaders...

"Top of Fitness: Battle of 100 People" is very diverse and tolerant from the aesthetics and values of the guests: there are both strong men weighing 127 kilograms and special effects actors with petite bodies and no more than 100 pounds; There are boys with tall and powerful eight-pack abs, and girls with endurance, strength, and perseverance that do not admit defeat; There are Korean local experts in professional fields or fitness enthusiasts, as well as white brothers and black brothers.

It can really be seen from the selection of guests that there is a lot of diversity: feminism, racial diversity, professional equality, all have tried their best to be fair and objective.

As the "peak of physical fitness", the selection of the program is also very thoughtful, aesthetically and allegorically very artistic, not only the pursuit of eye stimulation and adrenaline "simple mind and developed limbs" breakthrough program.

First of all, the figure of each contestant was made into a pure white statue with bumps and bumps, which is quite a bit of the combination of modern and retro in "White Lotus Resort"; Correspondingly, it is also the identity of each person, or robust or David-like standard, or some Internet celebrity slender. But our bodies represent who we are, and we are the proof of the hard work of those of us who love sports for more than ten or twenty years. Before leaving, each person must smash the pure white statue representing him with his own hands.

The miscellaneous statue is also the figure and self-esteem that he has always been proud of.

In this way, handsome men and women with rich experience and great career span secretly competed in their hearts while admiring each other. So the competition gradually began .......

The first game was simple in rules and simple in operation, but the operation and mental pressure was clearly very high - hanging from a smooth horizontal bar, the longest victory of 100 men. When 100 players climbed the horizontal bar with their hands, the horizontal bar gradually rose... The underground floor also opened, and it was a mysterious and nervous water mist...

Quickly entering the game without explanation, not understanding the opponent, with the smell of "Squid Game", anticipation, nervousness and panic...

Stamina, stamina, mentality, strategy, strength... There are many battles.

So at the beginning, the powerful players who were heavy fell one after another, and there were also players with thin bodies who seemed to have enough arm strength and fell directly; You think that girls must have a disadvantage over boys in physical competitions: then girls who are lightweight, have skills, and have good arm strength make it to the top five.

In the end, only the Olympic gymnastics horizontal bar champion and the naval special combat team remained, and the scene was really quite exciting: the gymnastics champion is very stressful inside, after all, if the Olympic champion does not win the first place in this kind of reality show, how will it be evaluated in South Korea, where netizens are merciless?

Of the fifty horizontal bars, only two remained hanging in the air, far apart, looking at each other. At this time, the other person could not resist the other party's provocative eyes and psychological pressure, and directly hung with one hand and turned around to avoid being disturbed by the other party, which is really good-looking! Physical competition, really not only brute force, but also psychological warfare.

And each project of "Top of Fitness" is designed with the flavor of "Squid Game": it is both gripping and copes with different strengths in the physical battle: petite girls will also be better than Hercules, and 160 120-pound male gymnasts can easily pk 127 kilograms of Hercules; Do you think the pinnacle of physical strength is brute force? In fact, psychology, leadership, and experience are all indispensable.

The second level is quite like an ancient Roman gladiator, two people in mud or two more skilled fighting arenas to grab the ball, a real hand-to-hand combat. Most of them are of the same body shape and the same gender.

There is a fighting contestant who chooses a female fighter, and the victory is directly pressed on the chest of the person, the strength is suppressed, and then the match is won, and if he wins, he has to brag about all the female fighters. As a result, the team competition is directly not recognized by other team captains.

There are also tug-of-war projects in "Squid Game", which is not only a collision of physical strength, but also a consideration of character and psychological trust. The 127-kilogram Hercules would rather choose the petite special actor Doying who has no chance of winning than a fighter who has more strength to win.

And the petite Doying showed a winning role in the bridging of the team competition: the carefulness of the special actor and the superb hands-on bridge building ability directly allowed the whole team to win the game.

The repechage is also allegorical, artistic, and reversed: the contest is called "Raw Weight", and each contestant must pull a statue with 40% of his or her own weight. Under the retro and brilliant light, everyone did their best for the repechage match, pulling their own statues, the scene was both artistic and cruel, and Koreans really played with the "power to reshape statues".

The races that followed were also quite tasteful: the 1.5-ton boat, the 1.5-ton boat, 10 people were both rivals and partners, and had to work together to pull to the finish. And everyone is dressed in muscle-stretched green tendons and headshots, and they look like big men, and they have a sense of art like oil paintings.

The latest episode of single-player confrontation is also very allegorical and super difficult, corresponding to the torture in Greek mythology: lifting the ball, Sisyphus' stones are pushing the ball uphill and downhill, climbing the rope that will continue to fall, chasing and running who persists until the end without being chased by the back can win; Obstacle Course: Before the race has even started, you have to set the course for each step in the next 30 seconds.

Climbing technique, strength, patience, running patience, speed and strategy, planning every race from the beginning.......

In the increasingly advanced races, the rules are still simple, but the examination of the players is more and more detailed and multifaceted.

It has to be said that it is produced by Netflix, and the previous "Dark Glory" was released two months later, and the next half season of the plot was released, which made the audience anxious; Later, "The Peak of Physical Fitness, Challenge for 100 People" was updated every other week, allowing the audience to constantly analyze the next plot while waiting.

The purest physical ability to fight the impact, but there is no lack of intelligence, team cohesion, endurance, psychological confrontation. This variety show is the only fresh and exciting existence in Asia! Rush!
